U.S. Marshals Arrest Foreign Fugitive in
Charlotte Fugitive Wanted for 2008 Murder in London

Charlotte, NC -
The U.S. Marshals
Service Violent Offender Task Force today located and arrested a man
wanted in London, England, for a 2008 homicide.

Omar Kevin Brown,
aka Andain Martin, a Jamaican citizen, is alleged to have committed the
homicide along with other individuals before fleeing to the U.S., where
he has lived since 2011.

The task force worked closely with the
U.S. Marshals International Investigations Branch in Washington, D.C.,
to determine Brown’s location in the U.S. During the course of the
investigation, Marshals were able to narrow the search to the University
area of Charlotte, and once located, Brown was arrested without
incident.

Brown is currently being held in the Mecklenburg County
Jail.

The U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force is composed
of the U.S. Marshals Service, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department,
Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office, N.C. Department of Public Safety,
and Department of Homeland Security.

Annually, investigations
carried out by the U.S. Marshals result in the apprehension of
approximately 34,000 federal fugitives. More federal fugitives are
arrested by U.S. Marshals than all other federal agencies combined.Additional information
